Playtex stopped making the cross-your-heart style that I had worn for many years. I was not happy! Had been looking for another style for several years; had bought several and they either were not comfortable or I just did not like them. Then I found this bra, and I love it! I can wear it all day in comfort and it is stylish. So I bought it in more colors; wish they would make it in a wider variety of colors.

I have always loved this bra. Full coverage and full support; also minimizes. Smooth lines when wearing a t-shirt and comfortable. After a while the underwire twists in the wash but that is only after having it a long time. Just be careful with it in the wash and is a great bra. Really keeps the girls in firmly.

I've been looking for a different brand of bra for sometime to replace a brand that was no longer working as well for me. The Awareness bra was recommended to me by one of the customer service staff at Bare Necessities and it's a real winner. It fits well, is comfortable, the straps stay up (my chief complaint with my old one) and does what a bra is supposed to do. I also like the color selection.

I am always looking for a comfortable bra that my husband appreciates. He has a hard time with bras that look institutional. I wear uniforms in my profession and this bra gives a nice shape under any garment. I can wear it all day with out it pinching. I have had it over a year and it still looks new. The only con is the material was a little scratchy at first but softened up after laundering.

I love my choices and they have proved worthy of their price. The bras wear comfortably all the 16 hours days that I work and I do not feel the pain in my shoulders by the straps that usually dig in and cause much discomfort all the day long!

This is my very first purchase and I can not believe how amazing this sports bra fits! I'm a 36DD and in order to workout, I usually have to where a regular bra, for the support, and 1-2 sports bras, for the coverage and to minimize movement. But this bra is so amazing! The coverage is great, the support is perfect, the straps and behind the clasps has padding, and it's pretty light weight and breathable. All around good product! I definitely will be buying again.

I was introduced to this bra by my cousin. I now have 4 in different colours. The support is good at the sides and underneath the breast. The straps are supportive and do not dig into the shoulder. The bra fits comfortably and is not restrictive. I will buy again.

I own several of these and this is by far my favorite bra. It's supportive, gives beautiful shape, is comfortable and LASTS! It holds up so well. I keep them around in different sizes for weight fluctuation and in all of the sizes it is still my favorite bra. Love, love love.

I thought this was a great minimizing bra, no pesky rolls of back fat created like some other bras. The plunge is great for low cut shirts. My true size is 32G, but I generally buy 34DDD as I find it more comfortable. I felt this bra was generally true to size compared to other 34DDD bras I have.

I'm in love! I'm a small frame but I wear GG & other sports bras shaped me as if I had cones:( Not good. This bra is comfortable material too & perfect for me and not expensive and I just love the purple.

FINALLY! I am now a 36DD and have been on the lookout for a good sports bra (yoga running and regular gym activity). I wanted an underwire one but I really needed something that was lightweight. I did not like the Panache 5021 (felt like armour) and I didn't like the Wacoal one bc I couldn't find a size that fit me perfect. Tried this one - and poof! PERFECTION FOUND.
I love the material and smoothness under my shirts and I can wear this all day if I wanted to. Try this ladies and you will not be disappointed!

I'm a Fantasie & Freya girl so trying a different manufacturer made me a bit unsure. While I'm not sure about the longevity of this bra, it is very supportive while still being a little sexy with the lace overlay. I like/don't mind the 3 hooks and while being a little on the heavy side I think it adds to the support I'm receiving (34DDDD) I do wish there was a next cup size larger but DDDD is the largest available.

More expensive isn't always better. Every one that I have bought has last a long time 1 yr if not more and i've never spent more than $30. They do stretch out cup size it seems so i always but one cup size down. These are my go to comfy bras.

Very comfortable and supportive. The only thing I don't like about this bra is that the straps fit a little close set in the front making it so I can't wear it with certain wider cut tops/dresses otherwise the straps and a little of the 'cup' will show. Great wire free bra overall though.

This the first time in at least 20 years I've found a bra that's absolutely Perfect!!! The size, fit, design and material far surpasses anything I've ever purchased before. I bought one of these originally thinking I'd see if it fit and if it was worthy. Well, tried it and loved it so ha dc to buy two more. The price is reasonable especially when you have sales or give percentages off often or add free shipping. Never had ordered anything like this online. This site is the best. I am a stylist and have told many people they should check out your site. I told them they would not be discouraged. Love my bras......

This bra is fun because it's not only comfortable and sexy, but also has a great color. My boyfriend loves the hot pink/orange pop of color to my wardrobe. The bra fits great band wise, but is just a little undersized with the cup due to its shape/seam. I wouldn't go up in a cup size though.

After trying several styles of bras in the department stores, I looked online and to my surprise and delight, I found Bare Necessities. They gave me many choices and I chose the Venus brand. This bra had just what I was looking for...underwire, camisole style straps, a back with four hooks, a pieced cup with a sheer lining, and trimmed with a very pretty lace. I checked the measuring guide and ordered. Fast delivery and the bras are just as described.
I am a very happy and satisfied customer.

there is a little push up in the bottom of the cup. It gives my breasts a little lift, very nice. I didn't go up a band size, I went up a cup size though. I wear a 34F. I think the push up takes up a little space in the bottom of the cup. Usually I start on the middle hook, 2nd hook. With this bra, I started on the loosest, 3rd hook, so I guess it does run a little bit tight. I love the lace, it's totally lined underneath so none of it rubs against my body. super comfortable. there is non slip silicon on the top and bottom of the bra all the way around. I now can wear skinny straps or no straps thanks to this bra.

I typically shy away from underwire bras, as they usually cut into my ribcage and are uncomfortable. This one, however, is surprisingly comfortable. I love the wide straps and the way it fits across my breasts, separating them.
I don't need the additional cleavage, but I can see how it makes one look like they have more!
Definitely a good quality product.

I started purchasing these bras several years ago and still love them! Because I am somewhat larger busted it can be difficult to find a bra that supports after the bra has been washed for a few months but these are wonderful. I wash on gentle cycle cold water with nothing else in the load and then hang to dry. Haven't had a problem since with wires poking out or breaking and the elastic lasts several years. I buy them so when I first start wearing them I fasten on the looser hooks and go to the tighter hooks as the elastic becomes looser. This extended the life of the bras for me.

This sport bra which I wear as an everyday bra is supportive and minimizing; I love the cool padding under the straps and the mesh inserts in the bra. It is not low-cut, which is fine for me, but if you're wearing it under clothes, it may show a little bit and that's really OK, too.

This Lilyette Jacquard Minimizer Bra is excellent: I'll be purchasing one in every color. The bra is sturdy yet attractive. It's so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it! It isn't easy to find a comfortable bra at this size - I have spent a lot of money searching. But now the search is over.
PS: I don't know why the review template is set to "Adds 2 cup sizes" because this is a minimizer bra. The last thing I'd want would be to ADD!! And it fits true-to-size, not large.

This bra exceeded my expectations. I have been wearing a style that is no longer made and have been trying to find a replacement. After many many disappointments, I am finally pleasantly pleased. Comfortable, flexible and the support is great. If you are a plus size this bra is a must.

I've shopped bras for years. My biggest complaint is that quality racerback bras just simply don't exist for plus sizes (or you need to mortgage the house to afford one). This is NOT a racerback bra, but the straps do NOT slip down my shoulders!! Bra makers don't seem to understand that just because you have a large cup size doesn't mean your shoulders are four feet across! This bra is a miracle - fits so comfortably, straps don't slide, doesn't give you a lumpy back, and doesn't come up too far in the front (so you can actually wear "v" neck shirts). I bought one, loved it so much, I ordered two more. As far as I'm concerned, I've found my lifetime bra (please, Vanity Fair, don't stop making them!!!)

I have a hard time finding bras that fit me. Out of the 6 I tried on from this site I've only kept two, including this one. It supports me great and it's comfortable. The only problem is that it's very large around. I could probably use a 30 DDD, but I just kept it because I'm tired of returning bras.

I used to buy Playtex bras many years ago but I found other brands to be more appealing in appearance. I thought I would try this bra out because I liked the color, the style plus the price was reasonable. It give me great support and is comfortable to wear. The straps stay in place and don't dig into my shoulders. I wouldn't hesitate in buying this bra again in another color.

These were the first bras I bought after wearing maternity bras for a very. Long. Time. My boobs are finally where they are supposed to be with amazing comfort. I ordered just one to begin with and ended up ordering 2 others the day I got my first order! These are my new everyday bras and I am very happy with them.
